NEA added that a total of 202 breeding habitats have been found and destroyed in the cluster areas as of September 10. Out of these, 121 are from homes while 81 are from common areas and other premises.

From Monday onwards, NEA and MOH will be providing daily updates via NEA's website and the members of the public can obtain updated information on Zika and details on current existing clusters from there.

Zika is a mosquito-borne virus that can be passed from a pregnant woman to her unborn baby. The virus can cause birth defects and can also result in microcephaly in which the baby's head is smaller than expected. There is no vaccine for Zika at present.

The World Health Organisation said people infected with Zika can have symptoms including mild fever, skin rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise or headache. These symptoms of Zika normally last for two to seven days.
